Civil War Basketball. Live @ Halftime.
Before tip off we were made aware that F Sean Carter has been suspended indefinitely (his second suspension in as many games) for actions that apparently constituted a “violation of team rules.” Obviously, that could mean just about anything, and […]
Marcel Jones should shut his mouth
Oregonian beat writer Paul Buker claims (click here) that Marcel Jones has essentially guaranteed a win against Oregon, Arizona, or Arizona State. Wow. The true freshmen, redshirt freshman, and sophomores are learning on the fly, and getting their brains beat […]
